Update: The Lawsuit Against EOS Has Been Settled

No more pouting here.

If you, like Kylie Jenner, Miley Cyrus, and, well, everyone, have a little egg-shaped lip balm floating around your purse at all times, you must hear this. EOS, the maker of those colorful balms, is being sued by a handful of customers who are blaming the product for causing “severe rashes, bleeding, blistering, cracking and loss of pigmentation,” TMZ reports.

A woman named Rachel Cronin is filing the suit and says that her lips “felt like sandpaper” hours after applying the celeb-fave product. Cronin’s reaction lasted 10 days and she wants the company to pay.

While it’s unclear what caused this reaction, some suspect that it might simply be an allergic reaction to ingredients that make up the balm.

“You have to be careful in situations like this, because people can be allergic to so many different ingredients in beauty products,” says Dr. Darien Sutton-Ramsey, an emergency medical doctor in NYC. “We’re all different and our bodies react to different ingredients in many ways.”

“Sometimes you can experience an allergic reaction the second time you use a product because the first time you try it your body is building up antibodies,” Dr. Sutton-Ramsey explains.

Dr. Sutton-Ramsey recommends taking off oil-based products with mild soap to ensure that it’s thoroughly removed. If the reaction persists, he says to apply 1% hydrocortisone to calm down the symptoms. Of course, if you’re experiencing an extreme reaction involving blistering, cracking, or bleeding (like Cronin), get to a doctor, ASAP.

This isn’t the first time EOS has dealt with unhappy customers. Jezebel reports that multiple customers have also complained that the festive packages also house mold.

Since these reports came out, there has been an update in the case. And luckily, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your favorite winter staple.

“We are pleased to announce that the class action lawsuit brought against EOS earlier this month has been resolved. Our products are safe – and this settlement confirms that. Our lip balms are hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, made with the highest quality ingredients, meet or exceed all safety and quality standards set by our industry, and are validated by rigorous safety testing conducted by independent labs. We love our customers and their enjoyment of our products is our top priority. We thank them for their continued support," EOS said in a statement.

Mark Geragos, the lawyer who brought the class action lawsuit mimicked their sentiments: "I am very pleased that we have been able to so quickly and amicably resolve the matter with EOS lip balm products. This is a testament to EOS being responsive to the concerns of their consumers. EOS has demonstrated through data that their lip balms are hypoallergenic, and has provided a mechanism for individual instances to be resolved. EOS makes great products and the company is doing the right thing by adding more information about their lip balm products on packaging so that buyers can make informed choices. We will be applying to the courts to close this case.”
